Transmitter, receiver, and transmitting method

1. A transmitting method for transmitting a content from a transmitter to a first receiver, the method comprising: transmitting a content receiving request from the transmitter to the first receiver; transmitting, from the first receiver, a start request for an authentication and key exchange, the start request comprising one of a first request for generating a first key for rendering or copying a content and a second request for generating a second key for moving a content, the first key being common to the first receiver and a second receiver, and the second key being unique to the first receiver; performing one of a first authentication and key exchange and a second authentication and key exchange, the first authentication and key exchange being triggered by the first request and performed between the transmitter and the first receiver in order to generate the first key, the second authentication and key exchange being triggered by the second request and performed between the transmitter and the first receiver in order to generate the second key, the generated first key and second key being shared by the first receiver and the transmitter; transmitting, from the first receiver to the transmitter, an acknowledgement including a label of one of the first key and the second key; encrypting the content by using the one of the first key and the second key based on the label included in the acknowledgement; and transmitting the encrypted content to the first receiver, wherein the moving makes the content void at the transmitter after transmitting, and the rendering or copying does not make the content void at the transmitter after the transmitting.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: transmitting from the transmitter to the first receiver an error message if a key corresponding to the label included in the acknowledgement is not present in the transmitter.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising: notifying completion of the one of the first authentication and key exchange and the second authentication and key exchange from the transmitter to the first receiver.

4. A transmitter which transmits a content to a first receiver, comprising: a first unit configured to transmit a content receiving request to the first receiver; a second unit configured to perform one of a first authentication and key exchange and a second authentication and key exchange, the first authentication and key exchange triggered based on a first request transmitted from the first receiver, for a first key common to the first receiver and a second receiver when a content is to be rendered or copied, and the second authentication and key exchange triggered based on a second request transmitted from the first receiver, for a second key unique to the first receiver when a content is to be moved; and a third unit configured to receive an acknowledgement including a label of one of the first key and the second key from the first receiver, encrypt the content by using one of the first key and the second key based on the label included in the received acknowledgement, and transmit the encrypted content to the first receiver; wherein the moving makes the content void at the transmitter after transmitting the encrypted content and the rendering or copying does not make the content void at the transmitter after transmitting the encrypted content.

5. The transmitter of claim 4 , further comprising: a fourth unit configured to transmit to the first receiver an error message if a key corresponding to the label included in the received acknowledgement is not present in the transmitter.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising: a fifth unit configured to notify completion of the one of the first authentication and key exchange and the second authentication and key exchange to the first receiver.
